Sorry for taking so long to reply.
Heh it sounds like you're playing with some
chips there - maybe it's just the
poker site
Interesting payout structure, not very typical for a SNG. Makes things interesting.
Now, with AQs - I'm not opposed to limping this in a multi-way pot, because it conceals the strength of our hand so we might get paid off a little better, and if we miss, we can get away cheap. I'm not as much of a fan of raising because with two people already voluntarily entering the pot, our c-bet on the flop is going to be less successful and is going to cost more chips (i.e. the pot is bigger, so your c-bet is going to be bigger).
The AK hand looks good, I would get my money in there also.
With 87s, normally I might say a complete is okay but with a faster blind increase and shorter starting stacks I think a fold is much better.
Folding A7 there was fine imo.
Hmmm, is your HUD lined up with the right players? It looked like it might be mixed up, from the hand where two players got knocked out.
I think the KQs shove is fine, since you're on the BTN, you only have 11bb's and the structure is so fast.
Folding QJ under the gun is what I'd do too.
Good shove with K7s there imo.
I'm usually shoving there with the Q4s too. It's gonna depend on how wide he's calling, but generally our hand is definitely too good to fold.
Maybe could have shoved the flop with 87 there, but it could probably go either way.
Good shove with K5.
I'm not sure it's an auto-ship with KJ there, I'll take another look at it later.
I'd call with A7 also.
That times it's a good push with KJ, the effective stacks are much smaller.
Good shove with T8s.
I don't think I'm betting that 73 there, he calls with a ton of hands and you have pretty much no chance of winning the pot at showdown. Maybe shove but never just bet with your stack size.
Yup, auto-ship with A3.
Good shove with ATs.
Q8 definitely would have been a shove if it was folded to you. You should be shoving pretty much any two in a bvb situation at this point, unless he starts to adjust.
I don't know if you can fold that KJ there, I mean he hasn't been very aggressive up to this point, but you're getting great
odds and have a pretty above average hand.
Woohoo! We win the first one.
I wasn't sure at first with the AKs there, but you would have to lose to both opponents in order to not make the money, so worst case there you would have min-cashed, which isn't a terrible result, cause if we win we're in a dominating position.
Now that the effective stacks are really low you can start to shove very wide - do you have a copy of the NASH heads-up chart? That may help, although it's made for optimal play and our opponent likely isn't playing optimally, he's probably too tight.
Good shove with Q4.
I love when 8 high wins!
Gotta push that 96 imo.
Push the J5!
Just shove the flop in that 95 hand. Bad result
All in all not bad!
